What is BatesReach?<\/h3>\n\t\t
<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t

\nIn order to help students develop and maintain strong connections with faculty and staff across campus, and to enhance student success, Bates utilizes an online tool called, BatesReach. The purpose of BatesReach is to help students succeed by connecting the student to faculty and staff that are in a position to help by virtue of their role with the student. For example, a student will have a connection with their instructor as well as their advisers in \u201cMy Success Network\u201d within BatesReach, which will help to facilitate communication between them by using \u201cflags\u201d raised in BatesReach.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is \u201cMy Success Network\u201d?<\/h3>\n\t\t
<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t

\nYour Success Network is a central location where you can see all of your connections with faculty and staff that have a connection with you during that particular semester. For example, if you are taking courses during the Fall semester you will see a list of all of your instructors, your academic advisor, Student Support Advisor, department chair, as well as anyone else who has a connection with you during the semester.<\/p>\n

Once you complete the Fall semester and move into the Spring Semester your connections may change based on the courses you are taking. You may continue to have the same advisers but you may have different instructors for that term.<\/p>\n

Students will also be able to schedule appointments with their connections through their Success Network as well as see their contact information.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n

If a student is having difficulty in a class, an Instructor can raise a concern (also called a flag) in BatesReach which will automatically send an email to the student, as well as their advisers, letting them know that the student needs additional help in order to be successful in the course. The \u201cflag\u201d being raised is part of the Early Alert System within BatesReach and could be based on a number of factors including:<\/p>\n
